Fake Soccer Jerseys . The lightning strike was in the parking lot of Crew Stadium on Saturday night, but its not known if the off-duty lieutenant was struck directly, Columbus Fire Department Battalion Chief Tracy Smith said. The firefighter, identified as Lt. Stu Tudor, had to be resuscitated, and was listed Sunday morning in critical condition in the intensive care unit at the Ohio State Medical Center, Smith said. She said it takes between two and three days to determine the total effects of a possible lightning strike. The storm with heavy rain and lightning bursts rolled through about 15 minutes before the scheduled 8 p.m. kickoff. Fans were told to evacuate the stands and head toward the concourses of the double-decked stadium. Emergency officials got calls reporting the lightning strike at about 8 p.m. Crew fan Don Lewis told The Columbus Dispatch that he was taking cover during heavy rain in a portable toilet when he said he felt electricity run through the air and then heard someone in the toilet next to him call 911 to report that someone had been hit by lightning. "All of a sudden it was just a bomb that went off," Lewis told the newspaper. "I knew it was close. The electricity ran through me." He said he saw a man lying on the ground when he got out of the toilet. "He was purple and had his shirt ripped off," Lewis said. Crew owner Anthony Precourt said on Twitter that team was sorry about the postponement, but that fans safety "is of the utmost importance." Precourt also said he was praying for the injured firefighter. The game was rescheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday. The National Weather Service forecast more showers and thunderstorms Sunday, but said they are likely to occur after 5 p.m. Cheap Soccer Jerseys China .

Hi Kerry, Thursday nights Bruins-Blackhawks game had a goal by Patrice Bergeron initially waved off by the referee, but video review clarified it was a good goal.RENTON, Wash. -- Theres no question about the talent among the starters in the Seattle Seahawks secondary. Behind those four -- Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor and Byron Maxwell -- there is some concern about depth in the coming weeks because of two key injuries. Cornerback Jeremy Lane, the Seahawks nickel back who plays against slot receivers, was placed on injured reserve with a groin injury Monday with the designation to return. He will miss at least the next eight weeks before he can rejoin the active roster. Cornerback Tharold Simon underwent minor knee surgery last week but is still expected to be out at least four weeks. The injury to Lane is more significant. Seattle played the majority of last Thursdays season-opening win over Green Bay with five defensive backs and is likely to take a similar tack with San Diego and Denver next on the schedule. Lane got all of those snaps before getting hurt in the third quarter and replaced by Marcus Burley, who was acquired by Seattle via trade just days before the opener. The Seahawks have withstood injuries and suspensions in the secondary in the past and this is the latest test. "(I) have no concerns at all because our mentality is were only as strong as our weakest link. We always say no weak links," Chancellor said. "The way we work in our room we share all information. Anything we know, anything we see on the field, we share with our backups, we share with each other. So everyone is on the same beat (and) if anyone goes down a guy can step right in, step in with confidence and finish the game." Seattle addressed some of the depth concerns by signing former Carolina cornerback Josh Thomas on Mondayy. Custom Soccer Jerseys. Thomas spent the last three seasons with Carolina, appearing in 38 games. Last season he started six games and had 28 tackles and an interception. Thomas was cut by the Panthers when Carolina trimmed its roster to 53 on Aug. 30. His agent immediately reached out to the Seahawks and that initial contact paid off with Thomas signing. In previous seasons the Seahawks had enough depth to overcome issues. It was usually Maxwell or Lane stepping in when there was a vacancy for whatever reason. Now those two have been elevated into starting roles and there are questions about who falls in behind. Burley ended up getting 25 plays against Green Bay. The Seahawks played 57 of 62 defensive snaps with five defensive backs against the Packers. Facing the Chargers and Broncos in consecutive weeks likely means even more snaps using an extra defensive back. "Its all about confidence in this league and if you dont have confidence youre beat before you start playing," Earl Thomas said. "But we come out there with a lot of confidence because weve prepared well during the week and we understand how you want to attack us and we understand how to play football." Seattle also signed OT Andrew McDonald on Monday off Carolinas practice squad. McDonald was "Player A" in a report on the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal this year that indicated he was among those bullied. He also had surgery for testicular cancer in May. McDonald said his health is fine and he was grateful to be signed on his 26th birthday. "To have the opportunity to be on the 53, especially here with Seattle, its a huge blessing in my eyes and obviously Im pretty ecstatic about it," McDonald said. ' ' '
